The Food and Drug Administration says it identified 96% of positive samples and 100% of negative samples in people with symptoms and 91% of positive samples and 96% of negative samples in people without symptoms.

So a 9% false negative and 4% false positive rate.

That is one of the reasons I believe restarting cruising will result in possible setbacks and PRESS hysteria.

You will have the same % in vaccinated cruisers resulting in hundreds of potential covid cases onboard, and an overaction to a person or persons coming down with it while on a Cruise. -Tom

If these numbers are accurate these are the most accurate tests out there. Most are 30% false positive.
